[Verse 1]
You left me with a broken fence
Wide open fields don't make much sense
Echoes of your boots on the gravel road
Your words were seeds but nothing grows
[Prechorus]
You said forever but it slipped
Like water falling from your grip
[Chorus]
Empty promises
They haunt my head
Like whispers of the things you never said
A hollow vow
A paper crown
It all just burns and falls back down
[Verse 2]
Your shadow lingers on my land
A ghost that’s holding out its hand
The whiskey drowns your memory slow
But it don’t stop the undertow
[Prechorus]
You said forever but it lied
Like thunder with no rain to cry
[Chorus]
Empty promises
They haunt my head
Like whispers of the things you never said
A hollow vow
A paper crown
It all just burns and falls back down
